Williams, a former PSAC Rookie of the Year, earned her first selection to the All-PSAC team after leading the Huskies in goals scored with 12 and in points with 28. A senior, Williams had four multi-goal games during the year, including three in a win over Felician College. In the PSAC playoffs, Williams came up big for the Huskies in the semi-finals scoring one goal and getting an assist on the other in the team's 2-1 win over Shippensburg. Williams also scored the game-winning goal against Edinboro early in the season.

Hartman, a sophomore goalie, posted eight shutouts during the season for Bloomsburg. She was named the PSAC Player of the Week after recording two of them in the final week of the regular season, which helped Bloomsburg reach the playoffs. In the PSAC championship game, Hartman came up with 16 saves to lead the Huskies to the championship. She made two big saves in the penalty kick portion of the tie game and was named the game's Most Valuable Player. Hartman has a goals against average of 0.83 for the season and has 21 career shutouts.

Docherty, a freshman defender, started all but the first game of the season for the Huskies and was part of a defense that allowed just 17 goals scored during the year. She also had one assist during the season. In addition, she reads the game tremendously well and has a lot of poise and composure in directing the defense as a freshman. Docherty also has the ability to serve balls and get out of tight situations.

Salvaterra, a sophomore midfielder, was a key player in the Huskies' midfield unit. She helped control the middle of the field, while also adding some offense with one goal and two assists during the year. She is a tireless worker and physically strong and serves the ball into the box.
